Creating an Electrical Connector for Routing

Electrical and electronical CAD 3D Cabling

Hi all

I'm looking to create an electrical connector with a specific number of pins and possibly a specific numbering as well.

For the creation of the connector, no problem, for the creation of the connection point no problem either.

But where I dry is in the definition of the pins, I don't know where to define it.

If I use a connector from the SW base, no problem when defining the wires, I can choose the pin number but for my connector I don't know where to define the number and number of the pins.

If there is a specialist, thank you in advance.

Hello

In the patch point definition, there is a port ID value.

I think it may correspond to the pin number of the connector.

Kind regards

Good evening

no unfortunately, this port ID names only one port, I have 12 pins on my connector.

Unless there is a way to name several pins in this ID, that's what I thought at first.

I've tried several  ways but nothing has worked so far.

Hello

The standard solution is, I think, to make one connection point per connector pin.

Hello

Precisely according to the help not to overload is to make a connection point (corresponding to the cable) and a definition of the number of pins and the busying numbers.

But that's where the help ends, they don't say how to do it, or I haven't found it .

Hello

In fact, I made a multi-wire cable with a single connection point. (see example file).

It is possible to make a plan of the whole as well.

Hello dtidsl,

Yes, that's exactly what I'm trying to create.

Could you explain to me how to do it please.
